Hallmarked GBD Pipes - Most Recent?

[ssjones]

GBD didn't hallmark a lot of their pipes but plenty of older ones show up from time to time.
This one caught my eye when it sold today for the 2nd time in as many weeks.

This one is from 1978. I can't recall seeing such a late GBD hallmarked pipe. On the first go-round, it brought $280, but it must have been a dead-beat bidder.
Has anyone seen a GBD of a new vintage than 1978?

Really wanted this one. Dropped out at $250.00 and it sold for $275.00

Someone got a great pipe in my opinion.

"VERY NICE! 1957 GBD HALLMARKED SILVER SPIGOT ENGLISH Estate Pipe 59 YEARS OLD!!"
"You are bidding on a GORGEOUS, SUPER CLEAN 1957 (pristine LONDON hallmark on the original silver spigot) GBD CLASSIC BILLIARD shaped estate pipe.  This GBD is in VERY NICELY PRESERVED condition, and the crisp detail on the original factory sterling silver band is breathtaking! The date letter is the b which corresponds to 1957.  The original stem is in EXCELLENT, PRISTINE condition, with a pristine brass rondelle!  This pipe is in awesome condition, with a super clean, smooth, round chamber, and a crisp, clean rim showing only superficial marks, but otherwise excellent!  All bowl stampings are very readable.  This is a classy smoke from one of England's most revered brands!  I take pride in the condition of my pipes, as I know you will when you smoke them!"

Ah, the Millenium pipes, I have seen some late 70's stamps on them - good observation Mike.
The pipe above sold for $260 I believe, but it was then quickly relisted. That final price did seem like a good deal to me. (it was way too big for my personal use).
